When The Warmth Fades

Epilogue

Mabilis na dumaan ang panahon at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa din ako makapaniwalang nagkatuluyan kami ni Jake. I dislike him before for his coldness to everyone but God has really plan for it. How could the cold guy end up having a soft heart for me?

My college life became interesting because of him. I had friends and met people that eventually left but I now understand that it's part of life.

People come and go but on the other hand I'm still and will always be grateful because he came and stayed with me for a lifetime.

"This place is pretty stunning!" I said as my eyes glimmered with joy.

I couldn't believe I'm here in Morocco with Jake as we celebrate our first wedding anniversary!

We're watching the sunset together while laying on the yacht and eating some fresh fruits.

We decide to celebrate here and basically this is our nth overseas travel together. We just love traveling and enjoying our marriage life before we have our own children.

"Jake..." I mumbled while playing with his chest.

"Yes,My Love?" He said softly before he kissed my temple.

"I love you,My husband. Happy first wedding anniversary!" masayang sambit ko tsaka ko sya yinakap.

"Happy first wedding anniversary,My wife. I couldn't thank God enough for bringing you in to my life. You made my life worth living because you're with me. I am so grateful that I have you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you so much,Mrs. Kleah Fariñas Hendrix. My surename suit you well." he said sincerely.

I could literally feel my tears falling from my eyes because of too much happiness that I am feeling right now.

He accepted me as a whole person. I have so many flaws but he made me feel that I'm perfect for him.

Afterwards,we finally eat our dinner. May nagpapatugtog ng violin sa gilid habang naka upo kami sa mesang may red roses at candles.

We planned to have a simple dinner at the yacht but he made it really extra special for us.

"There," he said as he finished cutting my steak. He smiled at me and wink which made me chuckle.

He makes me giggle all the time like a teenager. This man never fails me.

"Thank you," I said and started eating.

Paglipas ng ilang saglit ay madammi pa silang pagkaing sinerve na hindi ko na mapangalanan at hindi familiar sakin ang itsura at lasa. Pulos masasarap ang pagkain kaya madami akong nakain perp mabuti na lang at hindi ako ganong ka bloated.

I'm wearing a silk apricot long dress and a beige brazzer to keep me warm throughout the night.

"Do you want some wine?" he asked as he began opening it.

Agad akong umiling," I can't drink wine from now on," I answered. I don't drink alcoholic beverages but I do drink wines but occasionally.

"And why is that?" nakakunot noong tanong nya. Tila naguguluhan kung bakit.

"Because that doctor told me so?" I answered with questioning tone. I could help myself but to chuckled as I look to his facial expressions. He's clueless!

"Oh God,are you sick,Kleah?" He asked with sounds of worries in his voice.

"I'm not sick so you don't have to worry. We are healthy," I said as I smile widely.

Napatawa ako ng makita ko ang panginginig sa kanya kamay. Kila nagkaka ideya na sa nangyayari," W-we a-are?" nauutal na tanong nya.

"Yes,Jake. We'll be having our first baby!" I announced with excitement.

Ilang segundo syang natigilan na para bang primoproseso pa ang narinig sa kanyang isipan.

Maya-maya ay tumayo ito at nagtatalon na parang bata dahil sa saya. Natawa na lang ako nang nag sisigaw din sya na para bang nanalo sa loto o nakapasa sa board exam.

I could see tears falling from his eyes as well. He looks so genuinely happy and I'm proud and happy also because I know me and our child is the reason behind those smile.

Nagtungo sya sa tabi ko at inalalayan nya akong pinatayo at yinakap na tila ba isa akong babasaging bagay na iniingatan nya. Mahigpit ang yakap nya pero hindi sapat para maipit ako,tila ba ingat na ingat syang maipit ang tyan ko kahit hindi pa naman ito halata dahil dalawang lingo pa lang ito.

"Yesss...Thank you,Lord!" sambit nya bago kumalas sa pagkakayakap saakin bago sya dahan-dahang lumuhod sa harap ko upang mahalikan ang tyan ko. "I love you,My daughter." masuyong sambit nya bago masuyong hinaplos ito.

"Daughter?" I asked as I chuckled. He looks so cute.

"I could feel it,you know Daddy's instinct." He said proudly before he stood and hugged me once again. I didn't disagree with him anymore and we just enjoyed every moment.

We were still hugging each other when the fireworks display started. We watched it with a glimmer of joy in our eyes.

"I love you both," he whispered before kissing my lips and forehead.

"We love you even mo," I responded and hug him with all my heart.

Our family will become larger and I couldn't wait to see him carry our child.

He's my answered prayer,the man I prayed and dreamed of.

At first,I thought the standards I set for my man would be impossible to attain but with him he didn't just achieve it,he climbed higher and set the standard higher than what I set. I now believe that the real man will now only attain your standards but also make it higher so that you won't have any choice but to keep him for the rest of your life became you know to yourself that you couldn't find any better man than him that suited you well.

There's no suited person for anyone because relationship is build to perfectly fit with each other. We couldn't just meet someone and say we're suited for each other because love don't go that way. Love bloom and flourish in its perfect time and season.
